Should men always pay or is this entitlement in disguise?
First in-person meeting.
You’re strangers to each other.
You’re prospects to each other.
You may or may not meet again.
Shouldn't the tab naturally be split equally?
Yet somehow, even today, there’s an unspoken expectation: "It would be nice if the man offers to pay."
But why?
Why should the man, a stranger, be expected to foot the bill?
Aren’t both parties equally invested in exploring the connection?
We talk about equality… until the bill arrives. :)
Let’s not trivialize chivalry if he doesn’t pay.
Do keep in mind, you’re two strangers meeting to see if there’s a second meeting.
Focus on what matters, which is the quality of the interaction and let it be about splitting the bill.
